ANSYS Polyflow Software

Reduce Extrusion Die Costs

ANSYS PolyFlow allows companies to virtually design and test extrusion dies. Users can simulate the extrusion process and automatically perform die shape optimization. As a result, they are able to:

Consider multiple design options making “what if” strategies easy

Design dies faster

Understand and eliminate flow related problems

Enjoy reduced costs for engineering and extrusion line time, die fabrication, and scrap material. One company using simulation for die design experienced a 200 percent ROI the first year.

Investigate Diverse Materials with Digital Material Laboratory Models

Polyflow includes a vast library of mathematical material models so you can understand and accurately characterize material behavior.

Using the Polyflow material library, you can investigate behavior of new plastics and elastomers for applications as diverse as extrusion, blow molding, thermoforming, fiber spinning and film casting. Simulation enables you to test the ability to process new resins, even before they have ever been produced, by comparing prototypes for different materials to see if they match or outperform existing and competitive materials. You can reverse-design a resin to maximize end-product performance while minimizing costs and environmental impact.
